Collars: Not Crabby This Monday

It's true. I'm not crabby at all this particular Monday. 

You see, I'm not waking up at my usual 5:30AM because it's Spring Break! I have a week off work! So while that means I'm sleeping in and enjoying the daylight, you at work are feeling... well... crabby. I guess this sweater is for all of you!

Happy Monday to all, working or not today!

Current Cravings

When I crave, I crave hard! A few of these items may have already been ordered and making their way to my closet soon!
Here's what I'm craving right now...

*Perfect everyday yet interesting mid-heels, 3 inches or less! These animal print Zara heels are only 2.5in!

*Items for our Honeymoon in Greece this summer like this maxi dress from ASOS!

*Spring bags in pastels

*Fun floral/print tops. Loving that orange-print top and floral peplum

*Striped shoes (that don't make my feet look enormous)

*An interesting take on the common sweatshirt like this rhinestoned option or this black "oh my chic" one I've been wanting since I saw it on one of my favorite bloggers at Fashion week in NYC!

So what are you craving? I'd love to know.

This is what I wore to the Spring Cosmetics Trend Show at the ripe old hour of 7am on a Saturday at Nordstrom Michigan Avenue. As you might notice, Ariel (my name for my extensions) came out with me for the day, as did my new StyleMint blouse.

Olivia fit into the "color" theme nicely!

You know what I'm getting really sick of? Wind! I know this is Chicago, the "windy city," but enough. I'm pretty tough when it comes to taking my coat off in the below-freezing temps, but the wind is super annoying. Blowing my hair, clothes and skirts all over the place making it near impossible to take outfit pictures outside. 

That is all on that rant.

Anyway, the highlight of wearing this outfit was when a student asked me if I was "wearing my pajamas!" Of course! Don't all people wear jewelry, wedges and a belt to sleep?! That was pretty darn funny coming from a 10-year-old.

This is my China knock-off of the J. Crew Archipelago necklace that I became obsessed with when I saw it on a episode of The Bachelor! See the real version here. ($165)

I wouldn't say this outfit is impresive as far as color goes. I mean, it's pretty basic. 

The part of my outfit I would like to point out is my first successful "triple necklacing!" All day people kept complimenting me on my necklace to which I would say: "Which one? It's three." It's not as easy as it looks, but now that I have found three that go together so nicely they will be making repeat apperances in this same layered order.
